An attorney for George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch volunteer charged with killing Trayvon Martin, is delaying his request for a new bond hearing.
Zimmerman's attorney made the announcement on his legal team's website Tuesday.
"Mr. Zimmerman's legal defense team has decided to delay filing a motion for bond. A hearing will not be scheduled for a couple of weeks, and we will file a the motion well in advance of the hearing," the post said.
Mark O'Mara says a new bond hearing won't take place for several weeks — during which time Zimmerman will stay in jail.
Zimmerman returned to jail on Sunday, two days after his $150,000 bond was revoked. Prosecutors say Zimmerman and his wife misled a judge about how much money they had to put up for the bond.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder and has pleaded not guilty.
A telephone message left at O'Mara's office seeking comment wasn't immediately returned.
